PRINCETON, Mo-, Sept While making
an ascension with Prof. Headley's balloon
at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon,
Randall Blakesley. q half-breed York In
dian, fell from height of 400 feet, and was
instantly killed. He had mis- right hand
through a loop attached to the trapeze, but
it is supposed he received a shock at the
starting OF the balloon that prevented his
getting on the bar, and the loop UNFINISHED,
letting him drop. He fell in corn field
one and one-half miles from town. Blakes-
ley fell on his feet, both thighs being
broken, and the upper portion pushed up
into the trunk. There was no inquest. The

ing protection for the Chinese subjects at

Concerning Last Weeks Elections.


Ii the nomination OF Fred Grant lost
New York to the Republicans, SO much
the better for '8S. We were afraid the
frequency of Democrats was what did it.
-
The total vote in Dakota was liobt.
owing to the lack of personal interest
IN the canvass, but the verdict Of the
territory is decisive in favor of division
and prohibition.
-
New Jersey cast its nine electoral
votes for Mr.. Cleveland. but the result
OF last weeks election there was
sweeping Republican victory, giving the
legislature good working majority.
-
There are some other features OF the
late fall elections that are quite as sig
nihcant in their way as the defeat of
ticket in New York headed by Col Fred
Grant For instance: President Cleve
land said Il believe that every man in
Massachusetts who is in sympathy with
the administration, and wishes to secure
victory next year should heartily sup
port Lowering in Massachusetts in this
campaign and Ames was reelected
by an increased majority.
II is true the administration party
won the victory in New York, but they
may find out to their sorrow that they
have paid too dearly for their whistle. .
The triumph of man like Col. Fellows
who is known to have been hand in glove
land in pocket with all the boodlers
from Tweed down to Cleary over Nicoll
whose especial fitness for the office has
been attested by his able prosecution of
the municipal thieves, has been bought
at the price of the reputation of the
party for political honesty and dis
position toward good government. 1t
IS useless to deny that the President used
his influence to secure this party victory
against the best interests of the people
Of New York City 1t is only repeti-
ton Of the Baltimore business and events
4 year later may prove that these local
administration victories have been pur-
chased too dearly.
The denomination of Cleveland is
almost a certainty, and many Democrats
in and about Lancaster have almost got
him reelected on the strength of the
victory of their party last week in New
York. BIT! In the first place we claim
that this election is not much Of an in
dcator of the result of a presidential
election. The sentiment against Col
Grant on account of his connection with
the firm of Grant d Ward was very
strong. The Labor vote was unexpected.
II small, and the Prohibition vote I'M
eNpectedly large, and those facts cut
into the Republicans both ways. Again,
III the rural districts where the strength
Of the Republican party lies, the vote
was very light. We still claim that the
State of New York, on a presidential
issue, is Republican by good majority,
provided the nominee be man upon
whom the party can unite.
In the second place we do not admit
that New York and "solid
South" can re-elect Cleveland against
better Republican-and there are plen-
ty Of them. We believe it possible to
nominate a Republican presidential tick
ct that will get PAS of the 401 electoral
votes of the states, as follows:
Democratic. Republican.
